In the blackbird the Professor, Jean, and Hank were returning early from the conference. They were an hour away when the Professor felt a surge of power going up coming from the direction of the mansion. Professor - (What is that? What is going on?) Jean - "Is something wrong professor?" Professor - "I do not know Jean but I am feeling an upsurge of energy near the mansion." Jean - "What could it be?" Professor -"It might be Asa, I do not know. Jean took over for Hank and increased speed. Hank prepare your self for emergency medical treatment." Hank - "Oh dear. Right away professor." Jean took over with a worried expression- "Why does this always happen to us?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" Asa could not take it anymore, his blood started to boil. He had to do something no matter what the cost. Juggernaut had been enjoying himself, but he noticed the ground just below him was starting to shake.
Chamber wanted to cry. His head was down he looked up expecting the worst. He was shocked to see both Wolverine and Sabertooth stopped and looking in the same direction. Jubilee was wondering what was going on. She was bent over trying to protect Paige with her body, as tears rolled down her cheeks. She looked up to see Chamber, Logan, and Sabertooth all looking towards Asa and Juggernaut. She looked around and all the creatures that were about to eat were also looking. Jubes - "(What is going on, is that the ground shaking?)
The ground shook some more then stopped. Asa was bentover as sparks of energy that looked like lightening shoot away from his face. He looked up and his eyes were fiery red. He broke out of Juggernauts grip and punched him in the stomach. The Punch made him double over in pain. Juggernaut -"OOF......(That hurt, but How?)..Ouch!" He backed away holding his stomach falling to the ground. Asa grabbed him by one arm and flung him into the sky with very little effort. He would land a half-a-mile away. Jubilee and Chamber- (Wow!) Logan, Sabertooth, and the Creatures -(Oh *#$@..........!!!!) The green creatures took flight but stayed near by. Suddenly Asa moved in a blur of motion in 30 seconds those with collars had them removed and were starting to stand, the yellow creatures were not standing. Scott - "What the...?" Marrow had her mouth open. Bobby half awake - (Oh man , did I leave any practical jokes in his room, I better remove them.) Sam -"Gosh!!!!!" Rogue - "Oh my." Asa was helping Emma up to her feet. She looked in his now red eyes and felt a touch of his power. Emma- "Umm...Thanks." Asa - "Your welcome." He said with a smile that quickly faded when he saw Sabertooth. In a blink of an eye he was in front of him. Sabertooth tried to slash him on the arm, but Asa grabbed that arm and squeezed. Sabertooth - "Owwwwwwwwww." Asa then garbed him around the throat, hovered off the ground and pulled him close to his face. Asa - "Listen to me you psycho you harm Jubilee ever again you better pray I do not find you." Asa then flings him toward the lake. Both he and Juggernaut leave the area as quickly as they can.
Suddenly the voice from the ship gives an order to the remaining green creatures. "Attack them!" They attack carefully trying to avoid Asa. Logan reaches Jubilee and holds both girls in his arms to protect them. Rogue and Cannonball Counterattacked, they started knocking the creatures from the air. One tried to attack Marrow and soon regretted it. Scott blasted one and then shot at the ship. An energy shield went up deflecting the blow. Which cut off the flow to Chamber's prison. Emma went over to Angelo, Monet, and Penance who were still recovering. A green creature tried to attack them but Monet tossed the body of a dead yellow creature at it knocking it out of the sky. Which Marrow happily dispatched on the ground. One jumped Marrow from behind and knocked her to the ground it was about to roast her when Asa appeared grabbed it by the tail and tossed it toward the ship's shielding, it fell to the ground extra crispy. Asa held out his hand. Marrow would usually have knocked it away, but instead accepted. He then blasted the last creature out of the sky with a powerful blue blast. Asa then quickly went over to where Jubilee and Logan were. Storm was standing up helping Bobby walk. Logan was holding Jubilee who was still holding Paige. Paige was still out cold. Camber was knelling beside her and holding her hand. Jubes looks up - "Asa she won't wake up." Storm - "Let's get her to meb lab." Jubilee, Logan, Chamber carry Paige, with Storm and Bobby follow. The ship shoots a laser blast right in front of them. Asa cups his hands and takes aim at the ship, which suddenly tries to move away. Asa waits until it is over the forest. Paige is taken into the Mansion. The rest of Gen X, and Sam, go to see about Paige. Scott, Marrow, Gambit, Rogue, and Emma gather behind Asa. Asa's cupped hands start to glow in a red light, "Ahhhhhhh!" Then with a roar a red beam of energy, much larger than the one Asa does with one hand shoots toward the ship. For a moment the shield holds then it is engulfed by the energy beam and fails the ship disappears in a huge explosion, many tiny bits of debris fall to the ground other than that nothing is left. The Professor, Jean, and Hank see the explosion from the distant, they quickly fly into the hangar. Sam comes running as they depart from the Blackbird. "Come quick Hank, Paige is hurt." Hank and Sam quickly depart. As Storm tries to summarize the event the just happened. The Professor and Jean quickly go through the Mansion and out the Kitchen door. It looked like a battlefield with smoke and dead creatures lying everywhere. Jean quickly found Scott and hugged him; the Professor hovered over to Asa who had Rogue, Gambit, Emma, and Marrow standing around him. Asa's sweatshirt was full of holes and his eyes were red. Xavier -" Asa what is going on?" Asa's eyes turn back to their normal brown. "Hello Proof...Profess......or" Asa starts to fall to the ground. Rogue catches him and lays him down gently, placing his head in her lap careful not to let their skin touch. Jean quickly examined him as Rogue strokes his head. Gambit was starting to get a little jealous till he sees Asa's face getting pale. Jean - "He is starting to run a fever, his pulse is starting to drop." Rogue picked him up and proceeds to medlab.
In Medlad there was a sigh of relief. Paige was awake and doing fine, she was a little sore. She was lying down with her brother and all of Gen X surrounding her. Storm and Logan were in the background enjoying the touching sight. Everyone looked recovered and no worse for wear. Sam - "Sis you had me worried." Jubes - "Hayseed do not scare us like that." Angelo "Ya chica you had us worried." Chamber telepathically "*I am glad you are alright*." She squeezes his hand, which is still holding hers. Monet- "I am pleased that you are not hurt in any serious way." Penance nods in agreement. Paige -" Thanks guys, but I am fine." She tries and gets up but Hank goes over and gently pushes her back down. Hank -"Your doctor will decide that if you please." The medlab doors fly open as Jean comes in followed by Rogue carrying Asa followed by Scott Gambit, Marrow, Emma, and The Professor Jean -"We have a situation Hank! Asa has passed out, is carrying a fever, and his pulse is slowly dropping." Everyone that had been in the room was stunned. Hank - "Rogue place on the examine table. Jean prepare for an in depth examination." Jubes With a very worried look - "Is he going to be alright." Hank -"I do not know Jubilation, but I am afraid everyone but Rogue, Jean, Sam, Paige, and the Professor can stay in the medlab for now." Everyone that had to leave walked out; some with very concerned looks, Jubes, Logan, and Storm were the last to leave Jubes was starting to tear up a little "No I want to stay! He has to be alright." Logan places a firm but gentle hand on her shoulder and in a gentle tone -"Come on darlin' give the doctor room too work." Logan and Jubilee left. Storm just looked at his pale face, she turned and tried to hide the tears forming. She sat outside medlab for a little while. She recalled the first day he got here. That was a few weeks ago. She smiles as she recalls him running into the wall. Storm - (oh Asa I have known you but for the shortest of times. You have come at a time when many of us are tired and worn. You have brought a fresh wind in with you. I never thought that I could laugh so much in such a short time, I cannot tell you what that means to me. Please be well Asa, I Pray that your life does not end here among people you barely know. )"
In Medlab Hank has stabilized his patient for the moment, but he still has so many tests to run. He leaves the room with Rogue leaving Jean to watch over him. The Professor leaves earlier to consult with Scott. Paige gets up under the watchful eye of her brother. She sits next to Asa and puts his hand into both of hers. Sam -"Jean do we have anyone we can contact for him." Jean - "No Sam, he came here to try and get help with his memory and maybe find his family." Paige - "Poor Asa." Jean - "Sam could you help me with some equipment?" Sam -"Sure." Jean - "Paige could you watch him for a few minutes. If he does anything yell, we will be in the other room preparing some equipment to examine him some more." When Jean and Sam were gone she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Paige - "Thanks for believing in me I won't let either one of us down. Now get well, I still have to kick your butt." Paige yawns as Rogue comes in. Rogue - "You look beat girl, get back in that hospital bed and catch some "Z's" I will watch him till they get back." Paige - "Ok Rogue, thanks." Rogue - "Your welcome." Rogue watches the young girl go to sleep. Then turns her attention to Asa and notices a trace of lipstick on his forehead. "(Oh and we thought Gambit was the ladies man.)" She gently tries to rub it off with a clean rag. Without warning, as if reflex Asa grabs her arm in an exposed area but does not wake up. She is about to scream out. Then she realizes nothing is happening, her powers are not kicking in. She is shocked. She just stares at him for a moment. She decides to take a chance. She takes off her glove and touches his face. She lifts his hand and feel his flesh against hers. (This cannot be happening) and in a moment of weakness and desperation she leans in and kisses him on the lips. Then she sits back in her seat. Rogue-"I can touch him, but how?"
-Continued Will Asa recover?
